Thanks for the wonderful event, Diggah enjoyed himself immensely. Much informative discussion, both IC and later OOC. A great variety of spell effects were demonstrated, they are very good quality now. The auction held a few surprises, fireworks display was awesome....... and nobody died.     

The problem with using mobs that give high damage values against an unarmoured character is that death comes well before 100 hits. The only way I could generate sufficient runs, with a large number of hits per run, was to use very low damage weapons to enable defensive stance against a low damage control mob.
I am sure there are dev tools available to make a character unkillable yet still register damage taken.These would give more accurate results.

Promises to be a most interesting event. I doubt my DW Master could contribute any more than Tuux, possible to perhaps be close with another of the less common ways if I have time. Hope there is opportunity for an OOC discussion about the future role of magic in PS. Presently thinking about future need for both CC and snare/slowing effects to deal with groups of mobs with herd/social help responses. When improved mob ai is implemented we will need some tools to cope with them.

This is how I am using it at present. Three binds to different keys. First key /attack [default normal attack], second key /attack raise [each time you use the key will go up one stance level, -aggressive-bloody], third key /attack lower [each time you use the key will go down one stance level]. So with three keys you can quickly change stances, tapping one key for more damage less defence, another for the opposite. From fully defensive you can instantly switch to normal with the first /attack bind.

"Improved sorting in some windows, it's now possible to change attack stance by defining going up or down in level of stance"

0.5.7 Release notes.

Has this attack stance change been implemented, and if so what are the commands?

Thankyou.

Thanks Weltall, updated with the SP1 Redistributable you linked. Works like a charm.

Spell Shortcuts

Right click on an empty shortcut box. In the large box put /cast Spell Name [eg. /cast Defensive Wind]. In the title box above give it a name, eg Wind. To the right of this there is a key binding box, click on Set, press the key you want to bind that spell to, then save. You dont have to bind a key, can just click on the shortcut box, but having commonly used shortcuts bound can be very useful.
You will always change to a fully defensive stance if hit while casting.Brilliant really as you will take less damage than other stances. Change stance afterwards if you want by clicking on the attack icon of choice, defensive,normal, bloody etc, or make another shortcut and bind it eg /attack bloody.
